Now, sources tell In Touch that Mrs. Osbourne hired a private investigator to try to catch him in the act.

An insider reveals that she “found out that Ozzy was spending a lot of money. She wanted to know what he was buying and who he was buying it for. The investigator discovered that he was basically living a double life.”

Ozzy had been using the cash to spoil another woman – his alleged mistress Pugh, who reportedly cancelled a string of appointments last Friday at Los Angeles hair salon Meche when news of the Osbournes split broke.

Asked if it was true that she had kicked Ozzy out or just a rumor, Sharon said, “No, it’s true!”, adding “I honestly, at this point today, have no idea what I’m doing with the rest of my life. I need time to think. I really want to think about it very carefully. I’m 63 years of age and I can’t keep living like this.”

She further revealed that Ozzy had returned to the family home, saying, “No, he’s back, and I’m out of the house.”
